EducationIntr oductionAs simulation based design and ultimately virtual reality become increasingly important inengineering practice, it becomes equally important to integrate simulation technology into theundergraduate engineering curriculum. Simulation technology covers a broad range fromcomputerized systems to computerized solutions of engineering problem formulations usingmathematical physics modeling, numerical methods, and high performance computing; all ofwhich broadly influences all engineering disciplines. Pedagogy of integration of simulationtechnology into the undergraduate engineering curriculum and pedagogy of computer-assistedlearning are related. The latter includes web-based teaching, CDROM, robotics, studio arts,remote experiments, and

Anna Lambert,co-author and instructor of English 3603, collected survey data during the 1999-2003 period thatrevealed a consistent pattern of strengths and weaknesses as perceived by junior/senior-levelinterdisciplinary students. During this period, 78 students responded to survey questions askingthat they identify what they considered the professional strength and weakness. These studentswere a mixed population of students from both engineering and engineering technology majorsat the University of Memphis. The results of these surveys
